Men  of  Louisiana 
Cartooned. 


(O 


O 


£ 


Beginning  Monday  afternoon,  the  Item-  will  publish  daily  a 
new  feature  which  will  interest  the  business  men  of  New  Orleans. 
The  feature  is  an  original  and  novel  one  in  the  South,  and  will 
carry  amusement  into  commercial  circles,  promising  many  a 
hearty  laugh  among  the  friends  and  acquaintances  of  the  promi- 
nent gentlemen  put  before  the  public  in  a new  light. 

These  gentlemen  will  be  cartooned — not  maliciously,  but 
facetiously,  and  with  such  consummate  skill  that  their  importance 
as  commercial  factors  will  be  demonstrated  humorously,  but 
pointedly.  Every  city  has  what  people  call  “magnates.”  These 
men  are  always  found  in  the  front  ranks  of  progress.  They  are 
what  Tom  Lawson  calls  Henry  H.  Rogers  of  Standard  'Oil  fame 
— “piston  rods”  of  commerce.  New  Orleans  is  not  lacking  in 
this  class  of  pushers,  and  their  motto  is  always  “Onward — -Never 
Backward.”  The  Item's  daily  cartoons  will  picture  in  charac- 
teristic style  cotton  factors,  bankers,  transportation  officials, 
brokers,  merchants  and  semi-public  and  men  otherwise  in  the 
public  eye.  These  men  are  not  breaking  into  the  limelight  be- 
cause they  are  notoriety-seekers,  but  the  Item  will  introduce 
them  day  by  day,  because  they  have  done  and  are  still  doing 
something  for  the  upbuilding  of  the  whole  New  South. 

Item  readers  can  not  afford  to  miss  this  forthcoming  series  of 
cartoons,  depicting  uniquely  men  of  everyday  affairs.  The  car- 
toonist has  studied  his  subjects  and  will  bring  out  their  salient 
points,  characteristically  expressed  in  pen  strokes.  Our  readers 
will  enjoy  the  rare  treat  which  is  coming,  therefore  they  will  do 
well  to  purchase  scrapbooks  and  file  away  the  Item’s  cartooned 
men. 

These  lively  sketches  will  appear  on  the  editorial  page.  The 
men  selected  are  types  of  activity  in  various  lines,  and  are  ex- 
amples of  the  old,  old  tale,  the  “survival  of  the  fittest.”
